With 6 months under my belt with the new business name I have found focus and more ease around priorities. And business continues to shift in new directions. Funny enough, it is going more in the direction I want it to, than straying in odd 'shiny-object' directions.

How did I get here? Here are some things that have happened:

I have become more focused by working more on listening to what my clients needs are.

I have focused on saying NO and aligning with my competencies (the main reason I started this business)

I am reading, A LOT!

I am searching for new tools & sharing them with my clients and others to help them.

I am focused on business...working ON it as well as IN it.

I have planned time for projects - giving myself 1 appointment-free week per month to maintain and develop my business as well as work on client projects.

I de-clutter my head - thanks to Dr. Henry Cloud, I brain-dump regularly so that I can see everything in front of me, enabling me to 'bucket' and focus.

I have outsourced some work - if my time is better spent elsewhere, that is where I spend it

I take time off - enjoy stay-cation weekends with my family & friends

I take time for me - running or walking or reading (other than business-related books)

What have you done in the last 6 months that has caused some serious changes to you, your business or how you do business?
